The Muslims who have accepted the religion of Islam have never bombed any churches, have never murdered any little girls as was done in Birmingham, have never lynched anybody, have never at any time been guilty of initiating any aggressive acts of violence during the entire 33 years or more that the honorable Elijah Muhammad has been teaching. The charge of violence against us actually stems from the guilt complex that exists in the conscious and subconscious minds of most white people in this country. They know that they’ve been violent in their brutality against Negroes and they feel that someday the Negro’s going to wake up and try and do unto them as the whites have done unto us.
We aren’t a violent group. We are taught to obey the law, to respect everyone who respect us, we’re taught to display courtesy to be polite, but we’re also taught that anytime anyone in anyway inflicts or seeks to inflict violence upon us, we are within our religious rights to retaliate in self-defence to the maximum degree of our ability. We never initiate any violence upon anyone, but if anyone attacks us, we reserve the right to defend ourselves.
So to accuse us of being violent is like accusing a man who is being lynched, who is being hung on a tree, simply because he struggles vigorously against his lyncher, the victim is accused the violence but the lyncher is never accused of violence. And I only point this out because the various racist groups that are set up in this country by whites and who have actually practiced violence against blacks for 400 years are never associated or identified or made synonymous with the term violence, but whites speak of Muslims almost synonymously with violence. Whenever Muslims are mentioned by them, violence is brought up, but it’s not connected with any other group. This is a sort of a propaganda tactic or what I would call psychological warfare to in some way make the image of the Muslims in this country the violent image rather than a religious image.

ONE OF THE GREATEST JOYS OF MY LIFE WAS BEING PRESENT WHEN THIS CHOIR PRACTICED, AND PERFORMED SINCE I WAS 8 YEARS OLD...
Acappella music is sung without instrumental accompaniment.
The Choir-The ARC Gospel Choir, in 1975 eight residents of the Addicts Rehabilitation Center (ARC), located then at 253 and 255 West 123rd Street in Harlem, began a gospel journey as an a cappella choral group.
Since its inception the choir's dedication and commitment to fight against
drugs through gospel songs have won it respect and recognition as one of
the most outstanding a cappella choirs in today's gospel industry.
Singing primarily in the Greater New York Area, the choir has traveled
extensively through the eastern seaboard, performing at schools,
hospitals, churches, jails, civic, and social affairs. In their annual
performances, they have received critical acclaim from standing-room-only
audiences throughout Europe.
The choir performs under the direction of its founder, James Allen, and its
traveling director, Curtis Lundy, a world-acclaimed jazz musician and
arranger.
The Song-He Looked Beyond My Faults, was penned by Dottie Rambo in the 70's, and has been recorded by various gospel groups thru the years.
From their 1990 None But The Righteous live recording; He Looked Beyond My Faults, on lead Harold "Sonny" Wright. Harold "Sonny" Wright was a part of the great doo woop vocal groups The Diamonds & The Regals and had his own group the Cadence Metronomes.
